Ways to Run this Script

This script can be run from MineSight(r) or from the command line. It can be run with or without a GUI interface.

If run from MineSight(R) or from the command line with no arguments, a GUI is presented. If run from MineSight(R), no arguments are allowed, so the GUI panel is always presented.

To run silent without the GUI, an .ini file can be used that contains configuration values describing what is wanted in the report. Starting the script with command line arguments as explained below suppress the GUI interface panel and the values .ini file are used.

To create an .ini file, run the script with no arguments and enter your desired configuration into the GUI panel and check "Save Responses". This will create an .ini file in your project directory, if run from MineSight(R) or the working directory, if run from the command line.

Multiple .ini files can be created, one for each project as they can be stored in the respective project directories.

The .ini file is always named <script name>.ini (for example file:poly2dRpt.ini).
